1. Wall Paint

Recommended Finish:

  • Use eggshell or satin finishes for walls. These offer a balance between durability and an appealing low-sheen look.

Why It Matters:

  • These paints resist stains and are easy to clean, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms or hallways.

2. Trim and Molding

Recommended Finish:

  • Choose a semi-gloss finish for trim, doors, and baseboards. It highlights details and provides durability.

Best Products:

  • Consider products like Behr Urethane Alkyd Semi-Gloss Enamel or Sherwin-Williams ProClassic Interior Waterbased Acrylic-Alkyd.

Why It Matters:

  • Semi-gloss finishes are resistant to wear and tear, making them perfect for areas prone to scuffs.

Recommended Finish:

  •  Opt for a flat or matte paint designed specifically for ceilings.
